Cloud Hosting Comparison
How does Riyal Cloud compare to global cloud providers?
Riyal Cloud is Nepal's cloud hosting provider built specifically for Nepali entrepreneurs, agencies, and growing businesses that need reliability without the friction of international payment systems. Unlike DigitalOcean, AWS, or Linode, every server is physically hosted in Kathmandu, payments are in NPR via eSewa and Khalti, and support is available locally — in both English and Nepali.
| Feature | Riyal Cloud | DigitalOcean | AWS | Linode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Server Location | Kathmandu, Nepal | Singapore, US, EU | Singapore, Mumbai, global | Singapore, Tokyo, global |
| Local Payments | eSewa, Khalti, Bank | International card only | International card only | International card only |
| Pricing in NPR | Yes — transparent NPR | USD only | USD only | USD only |
| Full Root SSH | Yes — all plans | Yes | EC2 only (complex setup) | Yes |
| Uptime SLA | 99.9% contractual | 99.99% (higher tiers) | 99.9% (varies by service) | 99.9% |
| Nepali Support | 24/7 local — EN + नेपाली | Ticket/chat (global) | Ticket/chat (global) | Ticket/chat (global) |
| SOC2 Compliant | Yes | Yes | Yes | Partial |
| Low Latency for Nepal Users | <5ms (Kathmandu) | ~180ms via Singapore | ~150ms via Mumbai | ~160ms via Singapore |
* Latency figures are approximate round-trip times from central Kathmandu, tested Q1 2026. Global providers route traffic through their nearest regional PoP (Singapore for DigitalOcean and Linode, Mumbai for AWS) before reaching Nepal, which adds 140–180ms of overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Riyal Cloud hosting in Nepal
- Is Riyal Cloud actually Nepal-hosted, or is it a reseller?
- Riyal Cloud operates physical server hardware in Kathmandu — not a forwarded reseller. This matters for two reasons: first, latency for your Nepali users drops to under 5ms within the Kathmandu Valley. Second, data residency compliance requirements for Nepali government or financial services clients can only be met by locally hosted infrastructure.
- What happens if my site goes down — what's the SLA process?
- The 99.9% uptime SLA is contractual. If Riyal Cloud drops below 99.9% in any calendar month, you receive automatic service credits proportional to the downtime — not a discretionary gesture. Most global providers offer similar terms, but the SLA conversation with a local provider is faster and more direct.
- Do I need a credit card to sign up?
- No. Riyal Cloud accepts eSewa, Khalti, and bank transfer (Nepal Investment Bank, NIC Asia, Global IME) directly. This is the primary friction point that prevents most Nepali entrepreneurs from using global providers — and the reason many end up on shared hosting with poor performance.
- Can I install custom software or run my own configuration?
- Yes. All Riyal Cloud plans include full root-level SSH access. Unlike managed WordPress or cPanel hosting, you own the server. You can install custom packages, configure Nginx or Apache from scratch, run Docker containers, or deploy your own CI/CD runner. The Standard plan at NPR 6.47/hr handles most production workloads comfortably.
- How does billing work — is it truly hourly?
- Yes — Riyal Cloud bills hourly. You pay NPR 1.62/hr for a Starter droplet and NPR 25.89/hr for Business. If you spin up a server for testing and destroy it after two hours, you pay for two hours only. Monthly estimates on the pricing page assume the droplet runs continuously (720 hours/month).
Built on reliability you can count on.
